Chen Chen withdrew his gaze from the stone slab, walked to the front of Lei Peng's skeleton, and looked up at the pair of fully unfolded bone wings.

The natural thunder patterns at the base of the wing bones are more clearly visible up close. The depth of each thunder pattern is uneven, gradually becoming shallower from the base towards the wing tip.

These are not runes carved on later; they were formed by the repeated washing and deposition of lightning power in Lei Peng's bones with each flap of his wings during his lifetime, and were formed through natural etching over countless years.

In other words, these wings are essentially a half-finished magical artifact.

Chen Chen paced back and forth in front of the skeleton a few times before slowly speaking.

"The Zhen trigram corresponds to thunder, and the Xun trigram corresponds to wind. In the Five Elements system, both Zhen and Xun belong to the Wood element."

He turned around and looked at Feng hope.

"Zhen represents Yang wood... a towering tree, upright and outward-reaching; Xun represents Yin wood... vines and flowers, gentle and inward-reaching. The power of wind and thunder is harmonized based on the attribute of wood, and this general direction is not wrong. The combination of Yin and Yang wood is indeed perfect in terms of the hexagram."

Feng hope watched the human cultivator perform before him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"But it is precisely the perfection of the hexagram that masks a flaw."

Chen Chen walked to the refining platform, picked up the talisman pen, flipped the stone slab over, and drew a new route diagram.

"Wood is the dominant element, and it fears metal and fire the most. Metal overcomes wood... Once an opponent who is proficient in metal-based restrictions locks your escape light, this wind and thunder wings, which are based on pure wood, will slow down by more than 30% on the spot."

"Fire drains wood... The fire-elemental sealing technique doesn't need to directly counter you. Once you're roasted by the fire, the balance of wind and thunder power will shift. When the shift accumulates to a certain extent, the natural thunder patterns at the base of your wing bones will preferentially bear this extra stress... which is the spot you blew up before."

He drew a circle on the circuit diagram, which was exactly at the closed loop at the base of the wing bone.

Feng hope glanced at the circle. It was the precise location where his wing bone had shattered during his previous failure.

"My suggestion... is to introduce water-attribute materials, taking advantage of the image of water nourishing wood."

Chen Chen added a water element loop below the wood element loop, and drew several upward arrows from the water element loop to the wood element loop with the tip of his pen.

"Water nourishes wood, and wind and thunder, which belong to wood, naturally increase in power when exposed to water. This is the first benefit. The second benefit is that water overcomes fire. When a fire-based sealing technique encounters a water-based circuit, its power will be largely neutralized. Even though metal-based restrictions may seem sharp, water can soften them."

"Nourish the trees with water."

Feng hope looked down at the picture.

"You're talking about the five elements generating each other. If we add a water element loop here, the loss of mana will increase when water and wood are converted. When the loss accumulates, the maximum speed of the Wind and Thunder Wings will decrease."

This is not a problem of laymen.

Feng hope is a wind-type Rift Beast, so he can judge whether his magical power level is sufficient and whether there will be attenuation during the conversion process without needing weapon crafting theory.

Chen Chen did not avoid the question.

"Losses do exist. The efficiency of water-wood mana conversion depends on the grade of the water-attribute refining material and the connection method of the circuit. If you use the marrow of the mother tree, the mana conductivity is relatively soft, and the conversion efficiency is about 20% lower. But if you use the essence of black water, the density is high enough, and the mana conductivity is among the best of the water-attribute refining materials, the conversion loss can be reduced to less than 50%."

"Half a percent loss in escape speed, in exchange for a Wind and Thunder Wing with both Gold and Fire resistance... You know better than me whether this is worth it or not."

Feng Xi took two steps and stood in front of the Lei Peng skeleton, looking up at the pair of unfolded silver bone wings. The arcs of electricity on the bone wings were still jumping rhythmically, each jump reflecting a very short flash in his pupils.

Chen Chen did not press him to persuade him.

I've said what I needed to say. Saying more would just turn into selling something, which is why sellers repeatedly emphasize how good their products are.

He placed the talisman brush on the refining platform, took two steps back, and stood on the other side of the skeleton, giving Feng hope space to think.

Feng hope pondered before the skeleton, the only sound in the cave being the faint crackling of electric arcs dancing on Lei Peng's wing bones.

He really couldn't tell whether Chen Chen was doing this for his own good or something else...

"If it were just to escape, there would be no need for such a complicated process. Perhaps... it's to appease oneself, to secure a way out?"

Thinking of this, Feng hope could no longer suppress the smile on her lips and slowly turned around.

"The essence of Xuan Water. Can you guarantee that the connection between the Water and Wood circulation paths will be flawless?"

"They managed to get me all the way here, and now they're questioning my skills?"

Chen Chen picked up the stone slab from the refining platform, turned it over, and picked up the pen again.

The pen tip traced a continuous line on the stone slab... Starting from the bottom of the Water Path, it rose through the Wood Path, then followed a large arc along the edge of the Wind and Thunder Paths, returning to the entrance of the Water Path.

This forms a closed loop.

Feng hope looked at the loop line.

Demon cultivators may not understand advanced weapon-refining theories, but they have lived long enough and seen enough.

"The essence of Xuan Shui, within five days."

Feng hope released his hand from behind his back, took out a storage bag, and placed it on the refining platform.

"Take these spirit stones as a prepayment. If you need anything else, just let me know."

Chen Chen took the storage bag, weighed it in his hand without using his divine sense to count it, and then put it into his pocket.

Then he did something that slightly surprised Feng hope: he took half of the spirit stones, closed the other half again, and pushed it back in front of Feng hope.

"Payment will be made after the job is done. Rules are rules."

Feng hope looked at the half-box of spirit stone grass that had been returned, and the corner of his mouth changed slightly.

I just think this human cultivator is really interesting.

"what ever."

Feng hope put the spirit stone back into his sleeve and turned to walk towards the inside of the cave.

He took a few steps, stopped, and tilted his head slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you'll stay here for the next few days. There are side rooms in the cave; choose one. No one but me will come into this place."

The footsteps faded into the distance along an unseen path.

The cave became quiet.

The electric arcs on Lei Peng's skeleton were still dancing rhythmically, and the burn marks on the refining platform gleamed black under the cold light of the luminous pearl.

Chen Chen stood in front of the skeleton, picked up the talisman brush again, and began to draw a detailed diagram of the complete water and wood double loop on the stone slab.

But something else was on his mind at the same time.

This underground cave is relatively private within Feng hope's area of ​​activity.

However, for the Poisonous Dragon and the Black Tortoise, they will definitely enter this cave during the formal refining stage, because the injection of magic power requires three demon cultivators to work together in front of the refining platform at the same time.

Therefore, the window of opportunity during these few days when Feng hope is not around is the time when he can safely take action.

"The materials for the Heavenly Thunder Seed... we still have enough Gengjin Thunder Sand, a third of the marrow of a level seven dragon remains, half of the fin membrane of the Thunderfin Beast was cut off earlier, and two small pieces of the Thunderstruck Wood Heart remain..."

He pushed the route map aside, took out a small handful of materials from his spirit beast bag, and placed them on the refining platform.

The amount of Gengjin Leisha was only enough to make two enhanced versions, so he took half.

The bone marrow of a level seven jiao (a type of dragon) is the adhesive, the fin membrane of a thunder fin beast is the carrier of lightning power, and the heartwood struck by lightning is the detonator.

The dosage of each material was so small that when Feng hope returned and glanced at the refining table, he only saw "scattered scraps" and did not suspect anything...
